On this episode of the Imperva Security Podcast - Chris Richter of Savvis shares a wealth of experience surrounding Web Application Security as it relates to Cloud Computing, SaaS, and virtual environments.

He brings an IT service provider's view of control requirements for virtualized- and cloud-based infra¬structures.
